COVID ‘More Severe’ after Vaccination, Says Study.

COVID-19 vaccines have been found to make the virus ‘more severe’ after vaccination, as well as increasing the risks of autoimmune disease, myocarditis, and cancer-cell growth. The news comes from a recent peer-reviewed study published by the Multi-disciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI).

Those administered with two or more injections of the mRNA vaccine were found to have “abnormally high levels of IgG4,” which are “a group of fibroinflammatory diseases that affect a variety of tissues resulting in tumor-like effect and/or organ dysfunction.”

“Increased IgG4 synthesis due to repeated mRNA vaccination with high antigen concentrations may… cause autoimmune diseases, and promote cancer growth and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals,” the study states.

Multiple vaccines, moreover, impact the severity of COVID-19. The study – for which the authors declared no conflict of interest – states:

“The conventional SARS-CoV-2 vaccine’s ability to provide immunological protection may be significantly impacted by over-vaccination. If this happens, either newly diagnosed COVID-19 cases or people who have already contracted the virus again may have a more severe case of the illness.”

According to the study, the immune system post-vaccination can even struggle to detect and attack the SARS-CoV2 pathogen after it enters the body:

“…vaccine-induced tolerance can potentially have several negative, unintended consequences because tolerance to the spike protein could inhibit the immune system from detecting and attacking the pathogen; thus, potentially exacerbating SARS-CoV2 pathology in susceptible individuals who suffer re-infection of COVID-19 in the setting of vaccine-induced immune suppression.”

This follows a number of recent revelations that the vaccines are linked to Tinnitus diagnosis, severe neurological complications including Bell’s palsy and Strokes, and ‘Menstrual Disturbance‘ among women.

OVERNIGHT: Ukraine Watching ‘With Enjoyment’ as Drones Hit Moscow.

Upper-middle-class neighborhoods in Moscow, Russia have been targeted by a wave of drones, according to multiple reports.

The drones appear to have been aimed at the residences of government officials, wealthy tycoons, and ordinary civilians, with Britain’s Telegraph newspaper noting there are “no known military or industrial targets nearby” to the targeted areas.

“This morning, the Kyiv regime launched a terrorist drone attack on targets in the city of Moscow. Eight drones were used in the attack,” claimed the Russian ministry of defense.

“Three of them were suppressed by electronic warfare, lost control and deviated from their intended targets. Another five drones were shot down by the Pantsir-S surface-to-air missile system in the Moscow region,” they added.

Some residential buildings do appear to have been struck, however.

“Regarding the attacks: of course we are pleased to watch and predict an increase in the number of attacks,” commented  Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor at the Head of the Office of President of Ukraine.

“But of course we have nothing directly to do with this,” he added.

The attacks follow an attempted drone strike on the Kremlin, which U.S. officials believe was the work of Ukrainian security services.

The Ukrainian capital of Kyiv (Kiev) has been subject to some of the most intense missile and drone strikes of the war in recent weeks – but the Mariinskyi Palace, which once hosted Catherine the Great and now serves as the official residence of the President of Ukraine, appears to have been spared.

Transgender Surgery

Transgender Surgery Offers NO Mental Health Boost, Study Confirms.

Transgender surgery, also known as “gender-affirming surgery,” does not reduce the demand for mental health services, according to a study conducted by the American Journal of Psychiatry (AJP).

The study surveyed the effectiveness of gender-affirming hormone treatment and gender-affirming surgery on prescriptions for antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication, healthcare visits for mood and anxiety disorders, and post-suicide attempt hospitalizations among the Swedish population.

The study, following the AJP’s redaction, concluded that transgender surgery offers no improvement of one’s mental health and even suggested that there was “an increase in treatment for anxiety after surgery.”

The AJP was forced to make a major correction following the study’s initial conclusion that “surgery did reduce mental health treatment” after a number of clinicians questioned the study’s legitimacy, including Dr. Van Mol, Endocrinologist Michael Laidlaw, Child and Adolescent psychiatrist Miriam Grossman, and Paul McHugh, a distinguished university Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School.

Another Swedish study that the clinicians also highlight found that when assessing suicide over ten years after assignment surgery, “the sex-reassigned group had nineteen times the rate of completed suicides and nearly three times the rate of all-cause mortality and inpatient psychiatric care, compared to the general population.”

The news comes amidst reports of abuse of kids clinics in the United Kingdom pushing hormone therapy on children under 12.

DeSantis Spox Doubles Down on Zelensky, War Support.

Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis’s spokeswoman, Christina Pushaw, has doubled down on her historic support of Volodymyr Zelensky, suggesting that critics skeptical of her pro-war stance want her to “support Putin”.

Pushaw, the Governor’s “rapid response director”, has faced criticism for her support of Zelensky, a man accused of embezzling hundreds of millions from U.S. taxpayers. Conservatives concerned chiefly about their own country’s issues are increasingly keen for the White House to broker peace rather than wage war. As such, many are leery of Pushaw’s proximity to and potential influence over Oval Office hopeful, DeSantis.

“When the best ‘oppo’ you can find on me is that I don’t support Putin… I’m okay with that,” she wrote on social media, caricaturing the anti-Zelensky position as explicitly “pro-Putin”, and appending the message with an emoji of a woman shrugging.

Pushaw often draws criticism for her retrospective registration as a foreign agent who once worked for Mikheil Saakashvili, the former president of Georgia, turned Ukrainian politician. Pushaw has spent a considerable amount of time in Ukraine, and has shared pictures of herself sharing in celebrations with Zelensky on the night of his election.

Trans Group Forces Children’s Clinic Into Hormone Therapy for Under-12s.

Mermaids, a UK-based trans lobby group, assisted the country’s National Health Service (NHS) in drafting medical guidance which permitted “any children under 12” to be administered hormone blockers.

Susie Green, the chairman of Mermaids, participated in a task force that reviewed services at the Tavistock Clinic, with new guidance subsequently issued, stating: “hormone blockers will now be considered for any children under the age of 12 if they are in established puberty”.

Despite having no formal medical expertise or training, Ms. Green had a direct line to Dr. Polly Carmichael, the director of the Tavistock Clinic, which she leveraged in order to “be regarded as a professional so she could refer children for treatment when their GPs refused.”

Ms. Green sent a number of referrals to the clinic for children “unsupported by their GP.” In one instance, she referred children noting that the general practitioner/family doctor “has consistently refused to refer.”

“The Tavistock were really in thrall to these activists. They were ideologically captured,”said Stephanie Davies-Ari, founder of the Transgender Trend. Green now works for Gender GP, an online service providing cross sex-hormones.

The Tavistock Clinic initially refused to release details of the task force’s meetings, telling the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) the clinic did not have the information. When threatened with a court case, 322 pages were suddenly found, and released.

GOP Rep Drops DeSantis, Endorses ‘Real Deal’ Trump.

Sandra Panek, a Republican New Hampshire State Representative, announced a change in her endorsement from the Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, in favor of former President Donald Trump this week. She argued, “[w]ith DeSantis, you’re getting Trump without the charisma. I want the real deal.”

In her announcement, Panek explained”

“After being less than impressed with Ron DeSantis’s official announcement... I am hereby switching my endorsement to President Donald J. Trump. We can’t expect someone to run the country if they can’t properly run their own campaign launch. The stakes are simply too great in 2024 to take a chance on someone as unreliable as DeSantis – we need a proven winner like President Trump to take back the White House and Make America Great Again!”

The announcement, welcomed by the Trump camp, highlights another New Hampshire State Representative, Juliet Harvey-Bolia’s recent endorsement of the 45th President.

“I’m around to announce my full endorsement from President Trump, and only Trump. He’ll’ keep up out of war and prosperous as he has in the past., Ron DeSantis will make a great candidate in 2028. I expect Republicans will unite behind President Trump.”

The DeSantis campaign has already begun a “shake up” in Tallahassee, as reported by The National Pulse. Long-time DeSantis advisor Phil Cox was shown the door this week after a rumored spat with campaign chief strategist Jeff Roe. Roe is a serial loser on the campaign stage nationally, having run campaigns for Rick Perry and Ted Cruz for the White House.

debt ceiling deal

What does Biden and McCarthy’s Debt Ceiling Deal Mean, in Practice?

President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an agreement ‘in principle‘ on the debt ceiling this week. Though the deal stills needs Congressional approval, Speaker McCarthy lauded it as “worthy of the American people”. The House of Representatives will get just 72 hours to read the legislation concerning trillions of dollars before bringing it to the floor for a vote.

Biden said the deal was a compromise “because it prevents what could have been a catastrophic default and would have led to an economic recession, retirement accounts devastated, and millions of jobs lost.” But the agreement has been referred to as an “utter capitulation” by the likes of Rep Dan Bishop (R-NC), Republican Ralph Norman (R-SC). Norman tweeted the deal was “insanity.”

“We just risked the entire US economy to save $50 billion which is just 0.2% of GDP,” according to a global capital markets newsletter.

Key Points of the Fiscal Responsibility Act.

 

  • The federal debt ceiling will be raised by over $4 trillion without cutting any current federal spending;
  • Spending will increase by one percent in 2025;
  • Defense spending will not be capped, and will stay in line with Biden’s 2024 budget request of $886 billion;
  • The proposed deal suggests spending will be cut by 0.2 percent of the United States GDP – around $50 billion;
  • Congress will “claw back” some unspent COVID-19 funds, and cut $400 million from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “Global Health Fund” that sends billions to health programs around the world, including China;
  • Accelerating approval process for energy projects, requiring only one federal agency to review a permit;
  • A reduction in the $80 billion in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) funding pushed through by the Democrats;
  • Reforms to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), requiring adults without dependents between 49 and 54 to work for food aid;
  • Restarting student loan payments, though no start date has been specified.

As it stands, the Republicans who have announced their intention to vote against the bill include Chip Roy (R-TX), Dan Bishop (R-NC), Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO), and Tim Burchett (R-TN).

“Utter capitulation in progress. By the side holding the cards,” Bishop said.

“This bill almost guarantees you $4 trillion with no cuts,” said former Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon on Sunday. “It’s dead on arrival.”

“Any Republican that votes for this—they should primary them because this is nothing but a set of small optics compared to the real problem. The problem that this exacerbates the debt problem because it takes off any limits to what can be added to the debt ceiling. There’s no number, and we know it’s for two years.”

The British Government is Fighting to Hide COVID-Era ‘Secrets’.

The UK government is attempting to keep valuable information regarding its response to the COVID-19 pandemic out of the public eye. Government ministers are by refusing to provide the UK’s COVID Inquiry with messages sent at the time, raising suspicions over impropriety.

The government has until Monday to provide the information, or take legal action against the inquiry to suppress the release of hundreds of messages sent between government authorities at the time.

Lady Heather Hallett, chairman of the inquiry, has warned that failing to comply with the order to provide the “unredacted messages” would amount to a criminal offence, punishable with a fine, or even imprisonment.

The demanded information includes former Prime Minister Boris Johnson‘s WhatsApp messages, diaries,  notebooks, and the messages of senior government figures such as Dominic Cummings, Liz Truss, Michael Gove, Dominic Raab, and Matt Hancock — all of whom were pivotal in decision making.

In March, files containing ministerial correspondence during the pandemic were released, uncovering some awkward information.

The public learned, among other things, that former Health Secretary Matt Hancock discussed “deploying” a new variant for PR purposes, and suggested the government “get heavy with police” to enforce stricter lockdown measures.

DeSantis’s ‘Never Back Down’ PAC Advisor Backs Down, Leaves PAC.

Long-time Ron DeSantis advisor Phil Cox is “stepping down” from his role with the Florida governor’s presidential campaign political action committee: the ‘Never Back Down PAC’. The news comes one month after The National Pulse revealed that Cox was also a partner at the parent firm of pro-DeSantis pollster, Gp3, also known as ‘POS Strategies’.

Cox served as the political director for DeSantis’s reelection campaign just last year, and was described as leading “the strategy and messaging for the super PAC.”

A board member for Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund, Cox’s reason for departure is still unknown, with POLITICO reporter Alex Isenstadt reporting: “Phil Cox is stepping down from his volunteer role at the pro-DeSantis Never Back Down super PAC, per person familiar. People close to Cox say he remains a supporter of DeSantis.”

Bizarrely, Cox was spotted golfing a few hours before Donald Trump himself teed off at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, on Thursday.
